Profoundly Unintentionally Funny
8 August 2002
Warning: Spoilers
Of all the unintentionally funny things I've seen in my time, this is the only one I would actually consider to be a profound experience. This is one of the most awful things I have ever seen, and that's a compliment.

SPOILERS! Skip to the last paragraph to avoid reading about the best bad moments. Key details revealed here:

The first episode, the Challenge has Captain Marvel being fooled into thinking he needs to see a shrink; he's not suspicious with a psychiatrist office appears out of nowhere. The Flash runs, stands still in front of picnickers for no reason, then runs again. Everyone visits the same gas station when a woman on the phone provides commentary. A ray removes everyone's powers and even seems to affect non-powered heroes.

The second episode is (I'm not kidding) a Roast hosted by Ed McMahon; both he and the villains seem to have full access to the heroes' headquarters so they can roast the heroes. Highlight is Legion of Super-Heroes foe Mordru performing "That's Entertainment", though Batman and Robin getting into a shtick about a broken Batmobile is another classic bad moment.

Somewhere in both episodes is some idiot named Retired Man.

So bad, but in a funny way, that it sets the standard that every incompetently done TV show or movie should aspire to.
